Ingredients:
- 8 1/2 oz dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp corn syrup
- 1 oz dark chocolate (for coating)
- 2 tbsp whiskey
- 10 oz dark chocolate (for coating)
- Cocoa powder (for coating)
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Chop the Chocolate: Begin by chopping the 8 1/2 ounces of dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces. This will ensure even melting and smooth consistency in your truffles. |
| 2 | Prepare Chocolate Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine the chopped chocolate with 1 tablespoon of corn syrup. Heat gently until the chocolate begins to melt. |
| 3 | Add Whiskey: Once the chocolate has started to melt, pour in 2 tablespoons of whiskey. Whisk the mixture continuously until smooth and glossy. |
| 4 | Pipe the Mixture: Continue whisking until the mixture reaches a pudding-like consistency. Then, transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe out small mounds of the chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. |
| 5 | Chill: Place the baking sheet with the piped chocolate mounds in the refrigerator to chill for about 10 minutes, or until firm. This will make the truffles easier to handle when coating them with chocolate. |
| 6 | Melt Coating Chocolate: While the truffles are chilling, melt the 10 ounces of dark chocolate for coating. Be sure not to overheat it; you want it to be just warm enough to dip the truffles. |
| 7 | Prepare Cocoa Powder: Set up a bowl with cocoa powder nearby. This will be used to coat the truffles after they have been dipped in chocolate. |
| 8 | Roll Truffles: Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls. Work quickly to prevent the chocolate from melting too much. |
| 9 | Coat Truffles: Using a fork, carefully dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, place the coated truffle into the bowl of cocoa powder and roll it around until fully covered. |
| 10 | Set and Store: Once all the truffles have been coated and coated in cocoa powder, place them back in the refrigerator to set completely. Once set, they can be transferred to an airtight container and stored in the fridge until ready to enjoy. |
